Looking much forward to your contributions about your insitu experiences.
We'll be there after next week but i might see everything through rose coloured glasses.
You are more the voice of reason, i always appreciate your insights on IC Barclay NYC.
It's a short stay this time in New Orlčans, previous experience was at the RC & JW Marriott but i'm quite curious how things will be.
As long as it is not the IC Willard Washington's signature the nonstop butttrumpet event, it should be fine
Besides i do love to be tantalized with visiting a new hotel.....

The direct email to this hotel for prestay communications :
Hotel offers no own transport service but the concierge reached out to me to inform them about their partner,
Audubon Coach - https://www.auduboncoach.com

Previous stays at the RC netted me the transport services of their provider:

May i ask a favour ?
Time permitting, could you ask if the hotel's restaurant :
https://trenasse.com
allows for roomcharge and if earns EQP?
I'll be arriving late on SouthWest and S/O has a full day doing business so it'll help to have a bite closest by the comfort of the lift back to the room

If not i might try out the sushiplace in the adjenct building : Tsunami Sushi : https://neworleans.servingsushi.com
Or the dessert café across the street: Drip Affogato : https://www.dripaffogato.com
I'm not that familiar with south of Canal Street so just going for arm's length eath convenience.

Thanks in anticipation
Have a great Mardi Grass festivities day !
